• Delete all micronations. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 09:19, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Unlike many micronations, this micronation has made physical territorial claims which have been the subject of a 20-year-long court battle (compare Principality of Sealand), which was a partial defeat for Lars Vilks [1] [2]; and has been the target of 3000 very confused Pakistanis applying for immigrant status [3]. Of course, the article tells told us none of this. This is not someone simply setting up a club on a web site, nor is it someone declaring a field to be an independent nation and then not telling anyone except Wikipedia about it. Real events have happened, real territory is involved, real people have been duped, and real structures have been physically removed by authorities at 4 o'clock in the morning. Weak Keep.

• Keep, per Uncle G - real controversy in the courts, specific physical territory claimed. Not merely some idiot throwing up a website and calling it his country. -- BD2412 ^talk 15:46, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)
• Keep per Uncle G, and thanks for the evidence. Kappa 18:35, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• keep; not vanity Brighterorange 18:37, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep though most micronations are just stupid, this one seems somewhat notable and could have a real claim. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 23:35, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - Uncle G has shown that this is one of the few notable micronations. -- Jonel 02:37, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or move into Lars Vilks - Skysmith 08:04, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep without prejudice. —RaD Man (talk) 09:03, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
